Pacific Nocturne, 1944 (Profiles in Murder)

Based on a true story. In 1946, a letter-to-the-editor appeared in the USMC Leatherneck magazine asking if other Marines recalled the "Mad Ghoul" on the island of Pavuvu. The mysterious Ghoul would cut square holes in tents while the Marines within were sleeping, then reach down and fondle their throats. When awakened, the Marine would see a huge K-Bar fighting knife about to plunge into his face. No one was killed, and the Ghoul was never found.
